Orbi and Norton Core together
I used to have a Norton Core. It didn't provide the whole home coverage needed. After a year of struggle, we chose to purchase the RBR50 Orbi router and two satellites. However, I don't have the function of whole home internet protection as I did with the Core.
Question is, can I use the core for the whole home internet protection and then connect the orbi system to it to provice the mesh network which works well in the home now. I need the wifi capability the Orbi provides to connect thermostates, garage door openers etc. From what I understand (limited) it can't. Or, is there another product that provides this whole home internet protection I am looking for AND the wifi range.

- ekhalilMasterYes, you can continue to use the Core as your main router and use Orbi in AP Mode to provide you with whole home wifi coverage.
